About Me


Slippery When Wet
Canada’s ultimate tribute to BON JOVI
Established in late 2002, Slippery When Wet is an amalgamation of talent, diversity and attitude that truly make this band “Canada’s Ultimate Tribute” to BON JOVI.
SWW have played to audiences in both Canada and the United States to both large and small crowds alike. Slippery When Wet consists of Kenneth Vella, whose diverse vocal styling brings authenticity to the recreation of the BON JOVI experience. With style, feel and a vast collection of custom guitars, Alan Larocque is able to mimic the legendary guitar sounds that made the music timeless. Drummer Rob Greco and bassist Thom Evans solidify the backbone of SWW with emotion and driving energy. Keyboardist Jordan Vogel rounds out this ultimate tribute to BON JOVI with the most realistic reproduction of sounds and textures, thus making Slippery When Wet a must see production.
Today, SWW bring a newly revitalized spirit to their audiences and provide music that spans over 25 years of BON JOVI history. Their show and their sound are set to please not only the die hard BON JOVI fans, but also captivates new audiences young and old. From the first self titled album released in 1984 to the most recent crossover album, Lost Highway, released in 2007, Slippery When Wet have chosen songs that range from number one chart topping singles to some rare songs that even BON JOVI themselves haven’t played in decades.
Slippery When Wet is a must see experience, period.
